View Draft Report
Clark has slowly but surely risen as a prospect. He's an athletic righthander who has had projection for quite some time, and began to tap into some of that projection this spring. Clark's fastball works in the low 90s and touches 95 with late sink. Clark also has the ability to tightly spin a breaking ball, though he can sometimes struggle to repeat his arm slot on his curveball, leading some scouts to believe he should develop a slider. At 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, Clark still has plenty of projection. He can battle command issues at times, but has enough raw stuff to profile as a back-of-the-rotation arm if he can figure things out. If not, Clark could develop into a powerful reliever.
